It’s here! For everyone who needs facts that only a wiki can provide, the BlankItWiki is open for business. Ready for your edits and contributions.
Help fill in the history of Blank It, and discover things you may not have noticed before. Much like the strip, it’s currently a blank slate waiting to be filled in. So hop to it already. The confused masses are waiting for your insight and theories.
Dear nerds, I will be on a few panels at CONvergence this year. Here is a link for my schedule.
The price of entry is $70, so if you’re not already going, don’t pay $70 just to see me. But if you’re already on your way, stop by one of the panels and say “hi.” I will be wearing a fake mustache during one of them. Do not be alarmed.
By “you’re welcome” I mean to say “welcome” to everyone finding Blank It for the first time. We’re extremely happy to have you here. In fact, we’re a bit bowled over by the enthusiasm everyone is showing in regards to the strip. We work very hard to make something funny and unique, and we’re happy to see people enjoying what we put out.
And it’s never a bad time to bring up the 2k Challenge or whatever it’s called. As soon as we hit a consistent 2,000 unique readers per new comic day, we’ll bump up our production from two comics a week to three. So there’s your incentive to tell your friends, and everyone on the internet, about Blank It.
If telling the world about Blank It isn’t enough for you, don’t forget to contribute to the BlankItWiki. I’m sure there’s a lot left to be written about that fox.
Thanks again for reading the strip. We appreciate it greatly.
Before I started posting my comics on the internet in 1997, they would go up on the bulletin board of the drama room in Robbinsdale Cooper High School. Every Monday morning of my Senior year, I would xerox a copy in the library and post it up before home room. And if I didn’t do it, Ert Jones-Hermerding would give me hell.
Herm, as he was known by the students, was the drama teacher at Cooper. For four years, my life pretty much revolved around being taught by and being directed by him. He had a gigantic impact on my life, and I wouldn’t be the same person I am today without him.
Sadly, he passed way last night in a motorcycle accident. I’ve spent the day exploring all the different aspects of my life that he influenced, and was surprised to remember that it went as far as to influence the creation of comics.
It’s certainly sad news, but Herm was a much loved teacher. He left an impression on all of his students and has shaped a lot of lives. He has left quite a legacy, and that’s really the best any of us can hope for in life. I’m very happy for what he has accomplished in so many.
What? Aric is posting? Weird, I know, right?
Anywho. Two things. One, my other creative endeavor. I have a podcast called the Mustache Rangers which is a mix of Buck Rogers and Curb Your Enthusiasm. It has been going for a little over 3 years and we have 145 episodes in the bank. You should check it out. Especially THIS EPISODE. It’s our best one yet. Subscribe, rate, and review it on iTunes. And tell all your friends.
Secondly, we still have shirts, koozies, and original artwork for sale. And we’d be happy to send it to you! Check out the store and support the comic. And, of course. Tell all your friends. About the comic. You can tell them about t-shirts too. That’d be fine. But a little weird.
